While this is not fattering or en-
eouraging for my locality, it only
braces me up to the idea of a better
stand OF vines on a smaller number of
acres, thereby securing better water
projections and more prompt and
cheaper gathering Of fruit when ready.
The Importance of the cranberry in
dustery is made sufficiently plain by
the fact that Wisconsin produces one
third of all that are grown in America
But study of statistics running
through 10 years shows rather even
and constantly increasing production
by eastern growers; while ours is very
ftful and uneven, with small increase.
How much of this is climate and how
much our own mismanagment or rather
want OF management are points worth
knowing.
One other thought, as to quality of
fruit. About three-fourths of our frnit
are cherry berries, the other fourth bell
and bugle. The latter two, costing no
more to grow aud market, sell in all
markets for two dollars barrel more
than the former, this two dollars being
always clear gain over all profits on
the cherry. We often hear the injunc-
ton ''be good to YOURSELF" and
whatever else we do we are supposed
to be just and honest with ourselves.
From this standpoint how long can we
afford to grow cherry when We might
grow bell and bugle? -Tomah Jownai.

Trade Summary.
Selected from Farley's Trade Report
Philadelphia.

The course of General Trade the
past week has been decidedly upward,
the last vestige of the holiday feature
having disappeared. True, clearance
in certain lines are still to some extent
the order of the day but the first touch
of the Spring season produces a new
and fresh impulse in the markets.
The reduction in regular lines of
goods has been very satisfactory since
beginning of Winter. Though no
quotable changes are reported in quota
tons the active demand for heavy
WOODEN and cottons, and the stronger
market for raw cotton affected both
these lines favorably.
The clothing trade has about fully
recovered from the holiday inaction
and spring samples and statesmen are
on the road. Stocks are cleaning up
we'll. The financial condition Of the
trade continues healthy and collections
throughout the country are easy.
The remarkable position of the iron
market is continued Instead of any
waning the situation is intensified.
Pig iron, the barometer of the trade,
is becoming dangerously elevated, and
those who have none to sell are alarmed
but sellers are jubilant. Steel rails,
blooms, muck bar, structural steel, bar
and plate iron have all taken new
start, in the views of holders. Inquiries
for steel rails for Southern points
develop the fact that the Pennsylvania
and New York mills cannot take the
contracts, and orders for 100000 to
100000 tons will have to be placed
abroad. The price named is $45 at
Mobile, New Orleans and Galveston.
Steel rails are quoted at the mills S.
to Sc less than that figure.
There is dull stock market with
mysterious undercurrant of strength.
The demands of Stock brokers have
not been heavy.
The feature Of the wheat market is
its comparative frmuess.
The cotton market is quite firm.
The movement of cotton up to Jan
uary 1st., shows an increase of 36,608
bales over the previous year, and
$40, 1872 more bales than in 1884
The extremely cold weather has
made a remarkably good demand for
coal at RETAIL Stocks in Boston, New
York and Chicago, The complaint in
Chicago is the inability of the roads
to meet the call upon them for coal
famine there. The strike of the Jer-
sey Central coal handlers at Weehaw-
ken, Port Elizabeth and the Amboys
has assumed the most serious of turns
during the week. There has been riot
and bloodshed. New York and
Brooklyn dealers have no stocks on
hand and poor prospects apparently in
lettering their conditions. No sign of
settlement of the trouble. The New
England market is comparatively bare
of stocks.
The -four market continues firm
with some large lots selling.
Tin is frmer and slightly higher.
Money continues easy.
Collections good.

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
BALTIMORE, August 24.-The State
Convention of the Republican party,
to nominate candidates for Governor,
Comptroller and Attorney-General,
met here this afternoon. Temporary
organization was effected and the COM
mittees on permanent organization
and resolutions were appointed, after
which recess was taken to afford
time to report.
THE NOMINATIONS.
The following nominations were
made: For Governor, w. d. Brooks
Comptroller, r. B. Dixon; Attorney
General, Francis Miller.
After the nominations were made J..
X. Cowan, prominent leader Of the
reform movement of the Democratic
party, was introduced and in a strong
speech pledged the Republican ticket
the full support Of the Independent
DeDnOCralS.
THE PLATFORM.
The platform demands radical re-
form in the Civil Service and that the
power of removal for cause shall ac-
company the power of appointment.
1t declares that the action of the Pres
ident regarding federal appointments
is conclusive evidence that his profess
sion of Civil Service reform is hollow
and delusive; that Congress should
pass Blair Education bill or some
equivalent and favors some measure
for adjusting the difference between
capital and labor; for the passage of
a law protecting American labor and
for the passage of a stringent law
against the use of money at elections.
The balance of the platform deals with
local questions.

party if they withdraw their support
of the government"

RAILROAD RATES.
General ReductiOns-Affect on
Los Angeles.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 24.-The
Southern Pacific company, in defer
ence to the suggestion of the State
Railroad Commissioners, has decided
to reduce the four-cent-per-mile rates
to 3 cents; five-cent rates to cents,
and six-cent rates to 5 cents on all the
lines controlled by the Central and
Southern Pacific. This will reduce
rates from San Francisco to Los An
geles from $21.70 at present to $l5.
Rates to Fresno will be reduced from
81 go to $500. Expected reduction to
take place September /.
Los Angeles daily herald., 1887-08-25
THE PLATFORM.

The following platform was adopted !:
First clause-That the question of
free ballot and honest count in the
South is not yet settled; that the sup
preston of the black mans vote is a
national wrong and bold and wilful
attempt to make one vote in the South
equal to two in the North. 1t favors
the protection tariff, a practicable re-
duction of the national and State
taxes, the reduction of the revenue
laws of the State and advocates strict
enforcement and improvement of the
Civil Service law. The sixth cause of
the platform condemns the admins
tration OF Cleveland for its shameful
abuse of the Union soldier and the
despotic use of the veto power, and
the attempt to revive the verdict OF
the war by the surrender of the rebel
battle flags. The tenth clause ex-
presses sympathy with the peoples
struggle for home rule, whether they
be Irish led by Gladstone or the peo-
pie of this country, deprived of home
rule by the partisan injustice OF the
Democratic party.

Steady Decline in Wheat Quota

Associated Press Dispatches to the HERALD.
SAN Francisco, August PA con-
ference was held to-day between a
committee of the Santa Clara Viticult-
ural Society and members of Congress
from this district. A number of prom
inent viticulturists of the State were
present including Professor Hilgard OF
the State University. The meeting
was called to order by John I. Doyle
of Menlo Park.
THE NEW MEASURES.
Representative Morrow gave his
opinions as to the advisability of in
Producing the new measures and urged
the preparation of two bills, one COW
ering adulteration and the other strik-
ing off the internal revenue tax of 80
cents per gallon on brandy used in
fortifying.
FELToN's FEARS.
Congressman FELTON, thought that
the same bills being defeated at the
last session could not now be passed.
DIFFICULTIES AHEAD.
Representative McKenna said that
a party hostile to the reduction OF in
ternal revenue, led by Speaker Car
Isle, will organize next Congress, and
California will have difficulty in even
getting hearing before the principal
committees. and on these California is
not represented. He thought that
some compromise should be made
with the Eastern growers, but in any
event it would be difficult matter to
have bill of any description passed.
WINE FoRTIFIcATIoN.
An argument between FELTON,,
Dovle and Wetmore, on the question
of using corn spirits to fortify sweet
wines, then followed. Secretary Wet
more held that if the tax were removed
from all spirits introduced into wine,
grain spirits, being cheaper, woLld be
used instead of brandy. This is what
California producers do not want. He
said: "We need a sweet wine bill
Just exactly as it was, or nothing at
all. We may, however, use grain
spirit for foreign export if the distil-
lers insist upon it."
HARAszTHY's PROPOSITION.
Arfad Haraszthy spoke in favor of
dry wines. He said that the sweet
wine question could be settled by pro-
viding that all sweet wines should be
taxed except such as are made in vine
yards. Dry wines should be defined
as grape Juice, to suit California deal
ers, and second class, to meet the
approval of Ohio men, should permit
the addition of sugar only. These
wines should be free from taxation
and all others assessed.
EFFECT OF SUCH A MOVEMENT.
This plan would meet the approval
of Eastern people, but would have
opposition from the wine firms who
are manufacturing wine without a
drop OF grape juice in it. The principle
is exactly the same as in the oleo-
margarine bill.
A FRIENDLY FEELING DEVELOPING.
The meeting developed one notable
fact, and that is that there is greater
unanimity of feeling among wine
growers of the State than has existed
for years back.
READY BY NOVEMBER.
The committee appointed at the last
session of the Grape Growers and
Wine Makers Association will go to
work at once and have the bills pre-
pared by the middle OF November.
